The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL-2 protein family. BCL-2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. The proteins encoded by this gene are located at the outer mitochondrial membrane, and have been shown to regulate outer mitochondrial membrane channel (VDAC) opening. VDAC regulates mitochondrial membrane potential, and thus controls the production of reactive oxygen species and release of cytochrome C by mitochondria, both of which are the potent inducers of cell apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding two different isoforms. The longer isoform acts as an apoptotic inhibitor and the shorter isoform acts as an apoptotic activator.

BCL2 like 1 (BCL2L1) encodes Bcl-2-like protein 1, whose major splice isoforms include anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL and pro-apoptotic Bcl-xS. This BCL-2-family regulator is central to mitochondrial apoptosis and cell-survival research.
Biological function: BCL2L1 produces Bcl-2-like protein 1 isoforms with opposing effects on apoptosis. Bcl-xL inhibits cell death by limiting mitochondrial cytochrome-c release and caspase activation, whereas Bcl-xS promotes apoptosis. The reviewed human protein is also implicated in cell-cycle checkpoint regulation.
